Tips & Tricks to Remember

If you have ever been hesitant to make a pork tenderloin, don’t be. It is a great way to make a fabulous meal quickly, while tasting like you spent hours on it.

• The key to the flavor is searing it first, this locks all of those tasty juices!
• Adding the homemade rub before searing allows it to caramelize quickly locking in the flavor and giving it a delicious crusted exterior.
• Finally, let it rest at least 5 minutes before slicing and serving. This lets all of the juices and fat settle back into the meat keeping the flavor you just created.
